First Underground Level (Kaled City Corridor)

The corridor stretches narrow and utilitarian, its concrete walls pale under flickering overhead lights that buzz like dying insects. Emergency bulkheads flank doorways marked with faded glyphs, their meaning lost to time. The floor slopes gently downward, its metal grilles vibrating slightly beneath passing footsteps. Secker’s breath mists in the cool air as he presses against the wall, his posture rigid with urgency. Shadows pool in the recessed service alcoves where cables snake between dated panels, casting jagged shapes that make the Doctor’s skin prickle with unspoken questions.
